The Blacktown OWN Group began in 2004. We’re all about friendship.
We believe staying connected is the key to staying healthy as you get older. So our aim is to make sure you have fun!
Affordable activities take place three days a week. So on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays you’ll find us at the Rooty Hill School of Arts shaking with laughter, deep in discussion or drifting on a cloud of relaxation.
Please contact us for more information and the latest timetable of activities. We would love to hear from you.

As a welcome back to 2022, Blacktown OWN had a ‘Lets Get Active’ Games day that was enjoyed by all.
The members played bocce, quoits, cornhole, and balloon tennis all for a bit of fun and an active get together. There was something for everyone and a lot of laughs!
